Padrón Peppers with Coarse Salt

Padrón peppers are native to Galicia, an autonomous community in the far northwest of Spain. These small, vibrant-green peppers are typically mild and earthy in flavor, but every now and then, you’ll encounter one with the heat equivalent of a jalapeño. The delicious flavor of the peppers makes them a favorite tapa in Spain. The possibility of a spicy bite just adds to their appeal!
